Most Linux users don't use Macs because running Linux on a Mac is difficult.

But I think many people would like to run Linux on Apple hardware. That's what I do and I haven't found better hardware yet. You just have to be careful in choosing something that's well supported.

If I had to change laptops (I didn't choose mine and I'm just lucky that M1 Macs are well supported by Asahi) I would definitely take a Framework and hope that it's sufficiently Apple-like hardware wise.

I run a lot of Linux on my macbook pro m1, in parallels if i want a desktop, in docker or podman if i don't need a desktop. I prefer linux on my macbook to my previous Thinkpad (p1 gen2, 64gb, 2tb, 4k oled, core 9i). The thinkpad feels less solid, battery life is horrible, keyboard of the thinkpad is surprisingly bad.
